Figures pending verification and public-disclosure approval. Root cause and permanent corrective action not yet documented for publication.
Measurement-driven investigation, process adjustments, and effectiveness verification. Root-cause evidence and corrective actions will be added after review.
Industrial timing device concept combining enclosure design, electronics, and manufacturing data capture.
CAD modeling, manufacturability, component design, prototyping, and design documentation.
CNC machining, cutting tools, fixtures, process development, and production support.
GD&T, CMM measurement analysis, capability studies, and dimensional problem-solving.
DMAIC, root-cause analysis, process control, and data-driven corrective action.
I am a manufacturing engineer with approximately seven years of experience in aerospace and precision manufacturing.
I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida. My work centers on CNC process development, tooling and fixture design, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and continuous improvement.
As a Manufacturing Engineer II at Pursuit Aerospace, I support complex aerospace manufacturing through process optimization, CNC programming, production troubleshooting, and quality improvement. Previously, I served as a Lead Design Engineer / Manufacturing Engineer, working across mechanical design and manufacturing execution.
My approach is hands-on and evidence-driven: define the problem, establish root cause, implement corrective action, verify effectiveness, and sustain the improvement.
My background also includes U.S. Army service, CSWA certification, and Six Sigma Yellow Belt training.
